Introduction
Looking at today's tendency of video surveillance
systems it can be easily noticed that popularity of IP
based solutions is growing really fast. There are
quite a lot of manufacturers, who provides great range
of IP video cameras and video servers, which are
intent to serve in a professional IP-enabled video
surveillance system. More of it, many companies
provides solutions aimed to convert current CCTV video
surveillance systems to IP based systems, keeping
current equipment and infrastructure. In addition to
these companies, who provides not only hardware
solutions, but software as well, there are a lot of
companies, who focuses on software part of IP video
surveillance systems mostly, providing complete
solutions as for small or enterprise business, as for
personal use.
In the article I would like to share some of my
experience in working with different IP video cameras
and video servers from different manufacturers. The
provided information is related mostly to accessing
these cameras from your own application, which may be
a simple application for your personal needs or which
may be something more sophisticated and even close to
some sort of video surveillance application.
As a demo application to the article I am providing a
C# application, which allows as single camera viewing
as multiple cameras viewing simultaneously. The
application allows simultaneous view of not only
several cameras from a single video server, but allows
to view many different cameras even of different
manufacturers at a time.
